SCRAPS OF ELEGANCE MARCH KIT.... BUTTERFLY DREAMS #4 Guest Designer

This is a layout that I created as guest designer for the wonderful SCRAPS OF ELEGANCE KIT CLUB http://scrapsofelegancekits.blogspot.com/. The pastel colors in this kit would work well for Easter, Spring, baby or any other layout that requires a soft color palette. I love this Bo Bunny paper in the kit this month! Also included in the kit are the precious butterflies made by my friend, Renea (Reneabouquets) at Scrapbook.com . Her blog, http://myglittercoatedlife.blogspot.com/ , has a full gallery of lovely scrapbook layouts. Also in the March kit are ZVA blue crystal flourishes, Petaloo flowers and a seed packet of Forget-Me-Nots! This week, the seeds will be planted in my garden! Last, but not least, is the little blue bow tied around the bunny's neck.

The Petaloo tissue trim, from my stash, seemed perfect, since it reminds me of Easter Grass. The fence is made with Grungeboard, then painted with Crackle Paint, both by Tim Holtz.

This little bunny was first die cut, then embossed, inked and splashed with a bit of color using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

What memories this precious photo brings back! This was taken Easter Sunday in 1992. We had been to church, out to eat, then we drove to Joe Pool Lake for picture taking. The bluebonnets were in bloom and Lee and Elizabeth were happy and playful. Liz was showing us one of the eggs that the Easter bunny left for her.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Patty Rogers and I have been scrapbooking for approximately 20 years, officially. I still have the first album that I made while in elementary school, when scrapbooking supplies were few and far between! I always enjoy trying new techniques and products, and consider myself lucky to live during a time when resources for scrapbookers are plentiful and ever-changing. I am inspired by the work of other scrapbookers, and am amazed at the giant steps that have been made in the last few years in the scrapbooking industry. I rely heavily upon the artistic training I received at Texas Christian University, where I majored in elementary education and minored in art. The challenge of creating scrapbook pages that hopefully will be cherished by generations to come drives me to tell the stories of my family and friends in an interesting and creative way through scrapbooking.
